Filipino LGBT UK: A Night With Kindred Spirits

The moment the doors to the venue swung open and my friends and I were greeted with squeals, I knew I've come down to my natural habitat.I've been invited by some really good friends at the Filipino LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) UK's fundraising event for mature gays in the Philippines who are devoid or short of family support. The organisation is made up of the group mentioned and their supporters and friends. Members are mostly in healthcare, theatre and performing arts, and social services.

I usually don't refuse any invites to attend events for a cause, and definitely couldn't give this one a miss.

Aside from being spotted on the dance floor for my dancing potential by a ballroom dancing enthusiast who wouldn't let me go without perfecting the routine, and eventually sending my Clic H enamel bangle flying off the opposite side of the room (luckily not hitting anyone), I had a grand time! Congratulations to the performers, winners - especially Dexter - the organisers, and everyone else involved in the event. More to follow!

oh wow how fab - now this is something I haven't done or been to before. They all look great and you sound like you enjoyed it. Love the photos and you look gorgeous as always. Keep going with the dancing - it's the best form of exercise in my opinion. I'm considering doing some pole dancing. Have a lovely weekend babes xx

THE NUTTER BEHIND THIS IS. . .

Unravelling life when not dozing off during my train ride...
A book-sniffing pessoptimist restrained thinking introvert (those Facebook-sponsored personality tests can get quite addictive), I'm happy to engineer things in the background to avoid the limelight. I love lakes, rivers, G&T, and independent magazines. I went from aspiring to be a majorette when I was little to a forensic pathologist when I realised that white knee-high boots aren't chic. Sunrise, sunset, dawn and midnight, horror flicks, crime TV shows, libraries, museums, new books, black roll neck, jasmine green tea, dry shampoo, dancing, full moon, wintry beaches, mountain views, history, black and white photos, chandeliers, silence, alone time, red lipstick: these are a few of my favourite things.
